Streaming PCs

A gaming and streaming PC runs two demanding workloads simultaneously – one thread rendering the game at target frame rates while a dedicated encoder compresses and transmits live video to Twitch, YouTube, or Kick without dropping frames on either end. The hardware split that makes this viable is a high core-count CPU handling encoding in the background, or an NVIDIA GPU offloading stream compression to its dedicated NVENC hardware, leaving the game thread untouched.
